Abstract
|
|
|
|
Cryptotia is a congenital auricular anomaly found more commonly in orientals than whites. It is charaterizaed by the invagination of the upper part of the auricle under the temporal skin deformity of the auricular cartilage. Surgeries to correct crypotia principally involves addition of skin to the deficient retroauricular sulcus and cartilage plasty. We have developed a surgical method using modified retroauricular flap and have obtained good result without complication. We hereby report a surgical case with discussion and review of literatures.
